World Cup 2018: How to Watch Argentina vs Iceland

Wednesday

After a quarter-finals showing at Euro 2016, and some excellent play in the qualifiers, Iceland is off to their first World Cup tournament in Russia. They're the smallest country to qualify for the tournament, with a population of just 334,000. Gylfi Sigur­sson is their primary attacker, having scored 5 goals in 2017-18 for the national team. Iceland is coached by Heimir HallgrÝmsson, who gave up being a dentist to join the team full-time after their success at Euro 2016. Iceland will be looking to neutralize the attack of Lionel Messi, the captain and goal-scorer for Argentina; he has 64 goals for the national team since joining it 14 years ago. Argentina suffered a heart-breaking loss in the final to Germany in extra time at World Cup 2014 in Brazil, and they'll be focused on getting back to the final this tournament.

The game at Spartak Stadium, Moscow starts at 4 p.m. local time, or 9 a.m. Eastern (6 a.m. Pacific). You can watch it live on Fox in English, or in Spanish on Telemundo and NBC Universo through your cable company. If you don't have cable you can stream it via Hulu with Live TV, or fuboTV. With such an early start on the West Coast, it's the perfect opportunity to take advantage of fuboTV's 30 hours of cloud DVR so you can record the game and watch it later.

Argentina, Iceland, Croatia and Nigeria compete in Group D. Argentina is favored to progress to the knockout stage, leaving Croatia, Nigeria and Iceland to battle for the final spot.
